No parent starts off knowing what to do...
And without conscious effort, our parenting can create conflict instead of connection. The authoritarian approach many of us were taught often leads to frustration, power struggles, and distant relationships with our children.
When we parent without working through our own history, we repeat the painful patterns we experienced as kids — even when we desperately want things to be different.
It’s never too late to turn things around.
Whatever your relationship with your child(ren) looks like right now, there is hope. It may feel hard to believe there’s another way, but there truly is.
We don’t begin parenthood with all the answers. We make plans, try to become the parents we want to be, and then real life — with its daily pressures and responsibilities — tests those intentions.
Hi, I'm Bhavna Manocha
I’m a parenting coach and the founder of Joyful Parenting Guide, created to support parents in building calm, connected, and emotionally secure relationships with their children.
I am a mom of two and like many parents, I grew up with parenting patterns that focused on obedience and control. Through my own parenting journey, I realized these approaches often lead to stress, power struggles, and disconnection. This led me to embrace empowered parenting—a way of leading children with emotional awareness, clear boundaries, and connection before correction.
At Joyful Parenting Guide, I work with parents of toddlers and young children who want to respond calmly to challenging behavior, reduce daily struggles, and raise emotionally resilient kids. My approach is practical, culturally relevant, and focused on helping parents move from reactive parenting to confident, peaceful leadership.
If you’re looking to build a calmer home and a stronger relationship with your child, you’re in the right place.
The traditional ‘power-over’ model of parenting isn’t working.
It makes you feel like you’re not doing a good job.
But that's not the truth. I believe that the real issue is that we’re not taught how to be the kind of parents most of us long to be so we end up slipping into the patterns that were ingrained in us in our own childhoods.
Which is why when you contact me, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgemental openness and a supportive, personalized, effective plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.
How It Works:
When you book a call with me, we’ll sit down together and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
Let's Talk!
Your first parenting strategy call is FREE! Set up a time for us to meet, so that you can stop blaming yourself. And instead take the first step towards becoming the kind of parent you know you can be.
